Govt may offer financial help to Satyam

January 13, 2009

Troubled Satyam Computer Services, facing a liquidity challenge, may get financial support from the government, which is willing to consider 'all aspects' of helping the crisis-ridden company, Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath has said.

Since it was a question of saving jobs and an international Indian brand, the government would consider all the proposals from the newly-constituted board, Nath said.

When asked whether the government could extend even financial help to Satyam, Nath said, "Of course. There are many jobs at stake and institutional stakes."

Addressing a press conference after the first meeting of the government-appointed board in Hyderabad on Monday, Deepak Parekh too said the liquidity issue would need immediate attention.

Nath said it was up to the board to come up with proposals.
